Chapter 1683 The Fear Of Natalie

Upon hearing those words, Natalie's footsteps froze for a moment, but she quickly continued forward and sat down in front of the dressing table, feeling even more uncomfortable inside.

He knows I don't want to see him, so does he plan on not coming at all?

He knew she was just too angry when she said she did not want to see him and drove him away. Yet, he actually took it seriously and really did not come to see her anymore.

Lina did not know what Natalie was thinking and assumed she simply did not believe Lina's words.

Lina walked over to the coffee table in the room, placed the tray down, and served the food on the tray. She uncovered the lids and said, “All right, Nat. Come and eat quickly. You haven't eaten in a long time. If you don't eat soon, you'll starve yourself. Mr. Thompson will definitely be worried.”

“I won't eat.” Natalie lowered her gaze. “If he truly cared, why wouldn't he bring the food here himself?”

“Mr. Thompson said that since you don't want to see him, he won't bother you, so you can't blame him.” Lina sat down and spoke up for Shane. “Although you two had a quarrel, Mr. Thompson really cares about you. Why else would he arrange food for you? Come on, Nat. Stop being dramatic and come eat. Aren't you hungry?”

Natalie did not speak and just rubbed her belly.

She really was hungry. Her stomach felt like it was on fire, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Natalie stopped being melodramatic, got up, and walked toward Lina. The latter handed her a fork and said, “Look, aren't these all your favorite dishes? Mr. Thompson personally went to the kitchen and requested to have them made. He even supervised the cooking process.”

Upon hearing those words, Natalie's footsteps froze for a moment, but she quickly continued forward and sat down in front of the dressing table, feeling even more uncomfortable inside.

“He supervised?” Natalie raised an eyebrow.

Lina nodded. “Yes. Mr. Thompson was in the kitchen for at least half an hour before coming out. So, he must have been watching the cooking closely. That shows how much he truly cares about you, Nat.”

“I know he cares about me.” Natalie lowered her eyes.

Lina looked at her and said, “Then why did you argue with him and drive him out of the room? Although Mr. Thompson-”

“Lina, do you still remember when I gave birth to Anders?” Natalie put down her fork, suddenly interrupting Lina.

Lina nodded. “I remember. At that time, you were only six months pregnant with Anders. We were still competing in international tournaments and were to enter the finals. Then, something happened to Mr. Thompson, and he went missing in the fire. When you found out, you were so shocked that it affected your pregnancy, and Anders was born prematurely. That was the first time I had ever seen a woman give birth, and it was a premature birth at that. Seeing your pale face and the blood gushing out of you, I was utterly dumbfounded. I even developed a fear of childbirth for a while.”

“Yeah, you remember it all.” Natalie's lips gently curled up, revealing a bitter smile.

Lina was quite puzzled. “Nat, why did you suddenly bring this up?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I just want to tell you why I wanted to argue with Shane and why I refuse to take a step back.” Natalie rubbed her temples. “That time, Shane went to deal with Sean alone and went missing after falling for Sean's schemes. When I found out, I was so worried that I went into premature labor. During those

days in the hospital, I couldn't calm down to properly recuperate. I didn't even go to see Anders. My mind was filled with him, filled with worries about his safety, fearing whether he was dead or alive. Those days felt like years. I had never felt time pass so slowly. I wanted so badly to recover quickly and go find him, but my body was weak. All I could do was hold onto my concern for him while lying in the hospital for a few days. As soon as I could get out of bed, I hurried back to the country to look for him.”

“I know. Joyce, Sal, and I all saw it,” Lina said, clutching Natalie's hand.

At that time, Natalie was extremely worried about Shane's disappearance. The utter agony she experienced was evident to all her friends. They tried to comfort her, telling her not to overthink it. They assured her that Shane would be fine and encouraged her to recover quickly.

Natalie took a deep breath and said, “I swear I never want to go through that terrifying experience ever again because no one knows if we'll be that lucky the second time. What if he's really gone the next time? What will happen to me and our child?”
